Speaking of blinkenlights: This is a USB LED controller, could be used for our common goal of more blinkenlights... I've got one on order for my haiku case design, I'll be integrating this product if I can get it working right. http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=239 Pros: already a product ***Relatively Cheap*** Cons: haven't tried it yet Not open source Needs resistors... the instructions have you resisting the cathode not the anode in the instructions... not sure why, just bump up the number of watts you need for the array. don't have the driver written (yet). here's the install document http://groovygamegear.com/PDF/LEDWIZv2_INSTALL.pdf Here's their resident software (not open source): http://www.groovygamegear.com/ledwiz.zip It'll do RGB LEDs so long as they have a common anode. so, for 32 outputs (divided by 3) we get 10 LEDs(with some outputs left over). They also have multiple device IDs, so we can just add one more to make it 20. Brian Hague
